The Andwella Intelligent Robotics MediKit is a portable diagnostic and treatment device for personal first aid use. Using probes and skin monitors, the Medikit diagnoses the metabolic states of the patient and immediately injects the proper drugs to aid in recovery; Analgesics, antitoxins, stimulants, sedatives, etc.
This requires no decision on the part of the operator, only placing the kit in contact with the patient skin (usually the forearm or thigh) and press the activate button. The system internal expert system does the rest.
Limited to first aid only, the MediKit is very effective as long as it is supplied with proper drugs. Drug supplies in properly encoded containers are available on most worlds of TL–9. The kit contains warnings for low or depleted drug supplies. The MediKit also contains warning system if the system diagnoses a problem beyond the ability of the kit to treat correctly.
The kit runs on internal batteries which last several days of continuous use and can be recharged at any power source.
